    Bluetooth through USB

    Positive. The older RA1 units don't have bluetooth.

    Bluetooth through USB

    I drive a 2013 Ram with uconnect 3.0. I have listened to music on my iphone by plugging it in to the USB port in the center storage between the front seats. Has anyone used a USB bluetooth adapter to accomplish the same purpose.? Basically, I'm trying to add bluetooth inexpensively and easily.

    Pentastar running cooler than before

    I recently replaced a leaking radiator on 2013 Ram 1500 with the 3.6. I decided to replace hoses and tstat at the same time. I used the MOTORAD 953194 tstat 194F. Before all the work the engine warmed up to about 212F. Now it tops out around 192F. The engine is throwing a P0218 for not reaching...

    8 speed transmission fluid

    One more thing, you have to check the fill within a temperature range. If you are changing your fluid in Texas in the summer, you are already into that range before you start the truck. I managed to get it done just under the wire. Next time, I will wait for cooler weather.

    8 speed transmission fluid

    The 2013's and I think some of the 2014's are ZF manufactured. If you are concerned about ZF vs Mopar fluid, you would want to confirm which tranny you have.

    One thing I REALLY LIKE about my Ram

    It is very easy to unlatch the hood. The 2 Ford's in my family are always a pain to find the latch after you pop the hood.

    Ram truck hard to work on

    . I learned a LOT about car repair from my 1980 Chevy Monza. The starter on my 98 Frontier was a nightmare to replace, but since it lasted 17 years, I guess I can't complain too much.

    One thing I REALLY LIKE about my Ram

    I don't have a whole lot of experience with remote entry, but the range of my key fob impresses me. I have to get a lot closer to unlock my wife's Fusion

    One thing I REALLY LIKE about my Ram

    The manly 'chunk' sound from the power door locks.

    What DON'T you like about your RAM?

    My 2013 QC ac runs great. I live on the gulf coast and I've had to turn it down a notch or 2 during this past summer because I was cold. Granted mine's white so the heat load is a bit lower.

    What DON'T you like about your RAM?

    More of a nitpick than a hate, but I find it annoying that the number 5 looks way too much like a 6 on the EVIC.

    8 Speed Service

    I have. It seems very intimidating at first, but it is not much more difficult than changing the fluid on a manual transmission. I would recommend waiting for cold weather so that you have more time in the correct temperature window for the final fluid level check. Although I should add that I...

    2015 Pentastar strange overheating

    Sounds like a thermostat problem. Did the dealer drive it cold to duplicate the issue?

    disable auto park, can it be done

    That is like saying that a short person who can't dunk without a step stool is an idiot. Everyone is not equally gifted with spatial sense.
